Best Public Schools in Phoenix, NY

Summary:

The city of Phoenix, New York is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Michael A Maroun Elementary School, Emerson J Dillon Middle School, and John C Birdlebough High School. These schools are part of the Phoenix Central School District.

While the middle and high schools in Phoenix show promising performance, with Emerson J Dillon Middle School outperforming state and district averages on several assessments and John C Birdlebough High School maintaining a strong graduation rate, the elementary school, Michael A Maroun, consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools. This suggests there may be challenges at the elementary level that need to be addressed, potentially related to the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools, which ranges from 58.02% to 59.92%.

The per-student spending also varies significantly, with the high school spending nearly $6,500 more per student than the elementary school. This raises questions about the allocation of resources and whether the higher spending at the secondary level is effectively supporting student outcomes. Overall, the data reveals a mixed picture for the Phoenix school district, with the middle and high schools performing better than the elementary school, but the district facing socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student performance, especially at the younger grade levels.
